Culturally Responsive Tutor Training
This workshop explores the importance of culture in teaching. We will explore what it means to be a tutor within the context of Aotearoa New Zealand as a bicultural nation, and the UC Values as a Treaty-led organisation. We will explore the interactions between our own and our students' cultures to provide teaching strategies that promote bicultural competence and confidence, increase tutor-student rapport and promote diversity, equity and inclusion in the classroom.
Places available: 40 per session.

1pm – 3pm in Rutherford 141
